Vetëvendosje (Albanian for self-determination) is a radicalnationalist political movement in Kosovo, which opposes foreign involvement in internal affairs of the country and campaigns for the sovereignty exercised by the people instead, as part of the right of self-determination.
The movement widely bases its philosophy on the works of Ukshin Hoti.
The big contrast with the mainstream political spectrum within Kosovo concerns two issues that characterize Kosovo after the war: the long process of negotiations with Serbia concerning the internal organization and socio-political aspects of Kosovo, without imposing any prior conditions to the Serbian side, which they consider "unfair and harmful", and the process of privatization of public companies which they describe as "a corruption model, contributing to increasing unemployment, ruining the economy, and halting economic development of the country".
It presents the most firm and continuously critical opposition to the government while focusing their programs along three main axes: developmental state, , and welfare state.
The movement runs the municipal government of the Kosovo capital Prishtina.
